Overview
Following Jeff Bezos's controversial decision to end presidential endorsements at the Washington Post, over 250,000 subscribers have canceled. Internal dissent among staff is rising, prompting resignations. Longtime political strategist James Carville criticized the op-ed rationalizing the decision, suggesting it's a response to pressure from former President Trump. The newspaper ramped up ad campaigns for content critical of Trump as backlash grows, while maintaining neutral promotion of Harris. The upheaval reflects tensions between ownership influence and journalistic integrity amidst declining readership.
